non-viable的词源解释,non-viable来源

non-viable(adj.)

“非活”的意思是指胎儿太小,无法独立维持生命,最早出现于1821年,源自法语 non-viable(1813年在 Code Napoléon 中出现)。其中 non- 表示“非”, viable 表示“能够生存”。

It is an established fact, that under the fifth month no foetus can be born alive—from the fifth to the seventh it may come into the world alive, but cannot maintain existence. The French term these non viable. We may designate them non-rearable, or more properly immature—in distinction to those between the seventh and the ninth month, which may be reared, and are termed premature. [John Gordon Smith, M.D., "The Principles of Forensic Medicine," London, 1821] 
已经确立的事实是,在第五个月之前,没有任何胎儿能够活着出生——从第五个月到第七个月,胎儿可能出生时还活着,但无法维持生命。法语称之为 non viable。我们可以称之为不可养育的,或更准确地说是 immature ——与第七个月到第九个月之间的胎儿相区别,后者可以被养育,被称为 premature。[约翰·戈登·史密斯博士,《法医学原理》,伦敦,1821年]
